Most of the school.rooms now in use |

that all new rooms be constructed with |
these dimensions.
1t is further recommended that all |
two-room buildings be so constructed |
that two more rooms may be added on
the ground floor and the whole four
raised and another story of four rooms
built beneath, as occasion and necessity |
require. And that all four-room build |
ings be SO constructed that they may be
raised and another story of four rooms
added beneath, when necessary.
"A total OF thirty yseven rooms is asked |
for, at an estimate cost of Sl04, 500. |
This increase over what was formerly |
asked for is justified by an increase in
the school population of more than 400
children, as just shown by the Census
Marshals report, and by an increase OF
more than 300 children in the schools
during the month of May just closed. 1t
will cost $500 per room to furnish these
thirty.seven rooms, or total of S7400.
There will be needed for repairs on old
buildings, $4,000.
As there is no money in the treasury
for the above purposes, your body is
hereby asked to call an election for the
issuance of bonds for the amount of
$4,000 the money to be expended AS
above set forth. There is need that
action be taken promptly so that the
buildings may be rea ~ for occupancy
not later than the middle of September
next.

ing Committee; Anna S. .Averill. Secre-
